Hi Byron,=20

I've been using shadow a bit-- I think these simulators are important for te=
sting, but Shadow, at least, certainly seems to have limitations, in some cr=
ucial respects.  Running shadow w Tor (which is only logical, because many B=
CT transactions transpire over Tor) is not as 'light' as presented and slows=
 my own box down quite a bit, so the stats can't possibly be accurate... I d=
on't know if this answers any questions or if you've had this experience at a=
ll -- perhaps it is negligible on a more powerful machine than my own-- or p=
erhaps there is an adjustment still unaccounted?

Regards,
Nina K
